Eurovision Shocker: Scott Mills Out Amid Controversy
12 May
Summary
- Scott Mills will not provide commentary for Eurovision this year.
- Mills' BBC contract was terminated in March following an investigation.
- Angela Scanlon will step in to provide commentary for the semi-finals.
The Eurovision Song Contest is underway in Vienna, Austria, but without familiar voice Scott Mills. Mills, who co-hosted the semi-finals last year, is notably absent from this year's commentary team. This follows the termination of his BBC contract in March.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Mills had been subject to a police investigation concerning alleged sexual offenses from 2018. The case was subsequently dropped as the evidential threshold for charges was not met. Mills' representatives stated he cooperated fully with the investigation.
Angela Scanlon, a former Strictly Come Dancing favorite, has stepped into Mills' role for the semi-finals. Scanlon expressed her thrill and slight apprehension about joining the event, recalling childhood memories of watching Eurovision with her sisters.
